Boston Love

Our trip to Boston was amazing! Not only was it 30 degrees cooler than Florida, and thereby very enjoyable, but the city was alive with baseball and we loved every minute of it!

We went to the game on Thursday night against the Rays and had seats 2 rows from the field in the right outfield. I told the people sitting behind us that the game was a birthday gift for my husband and they decided to buy him beers throughout the night. Even though we lost and it rained/misted most of the night, it was such an awesome experience!

The next day, we woke up early to take the Fenway tour, which included sitting in the Green Monster seats and seeing the amazing view from up there.

 The hubs didn't want to leave! 

After that, we headed to the Samuel Adams Brewery for the tour and tasting. I didn't realize it wasn't the mass production brewery but it was neat nonetheless.

 Mmmm Oktoberfest :)

To round off our day of tours, we headed to the Taza Chocolate factory, where we got a look at how organic stone ground chocolate is made. They have some really neat types of chocolate, including ones with different flavors, and the best part was obviously the sampling. I may have purchased $50 worth of chocolate, only because I didn't know if we could find it in Florida or online (which we can).

That evening, we headed to the North End for some delicious Italian food and stumbled across the Paul Revere Mall, which also houses the Old North Church, which is where the famous "One if by land, two if by sea" lanterns were hung.

We ate at a place called Pomodoro, which was tiny but the food was delicious. It also happened to be across the street from Mike's Pastry, where we grabbed 4 cannoli's to take home (they are as good as people say they are). The hubby's cousin and fiance took us to a bar called Tavern on the Water where we had a beautiful night view of downtown Boston.

The next day, we headed to Boston Harbor for a Whale Watch boat ride and took some pictures of the beautiful boats and water.

I'm not going to lie, the boat was fast and bumpy and I almost got sick, but once we got to where the whales were located, I was all about taking pictures. They didn't come out of the water that much but I did get to see them and get some good shots.

 On the way back, I got a great picture of the Boston skyline. I can see why people love it so much!

That was our trip in a nutshell, we got a lot of things accomplished and loved going to all different parts of Boston to get a true experience. I asked the hubby how realistic it was if we moved there but I think that decision will be put on hold, haha.

Have you ever been to Boston?
